My mom would make raisin filled cookies using a sour cream cookie dough. She would roll out the cookies a bit thinner than 1/4”, but a small dollop of cooked raisins in the middle of the cookie rounds, fold it in half and seal the edges before baking. I can’t find the recipe and my older wants some. 😢. I’m giving this a 4 star as. Have not tried your recipe yet, but it looks similar.

I bought my mother a Betty Crocker cookbook when I was about 8 years old. I no longer have the book, but have some recipes that I still make. This is one of them. I am 62 years old and have made these cookies for my children and my grandchildren. They love them and prefer them over other sugar cookies. I believe it is the addition of nutmeg. I also altered the recipe one time when I had no sour cream. I used whole milk instead and added more flour until the consistency was right. Awesome cookie!

These look yummy! Do you think these would turn out okay if I used Light Sour Cream? I know the texture would be somewhat affected, due to the lower fat content. Thank you!

Made these at weekend, substituted unsalted butter instead of the shortening, as we don’t have shortening here and also threw in some brandy cream as didn’t have enough sour cream as well as some ground cardamom. I found the temp of 425F/220C to be way too high and lowered it substantially to 375F/190C as the first batch almost burnt. Used Hail sugar on the top instead of caster sugar and they came out fine. Nice easy cookie, was thinking of freezing batches of this dough so I can just whip up a batch whenever needed.

If you google the recipe, some do actually say to use butter. Just checking! Thanks!

@Jessica – Yes, I’m sorry about that little error. It’s cream the shortening and sugar together! I must have had butter on my brain when I typed that! THANKS for catching my mistake! 🙂
Happy Baking!

Step 2 is cream shortening and sugar, not butter and sugar, right?
